To assess how well the NZ COVID Tracer QR (Quick Response) code poster is displayed by Dunedin businesses and other venues in which groups of people gather indoors, and to calculate the proportions of visitors to those venues who scan the QR code poster.
We randomly selected 10 cafes, 10 restaurants, 10 bars, five churches, and five supermarkets and visited them at their busiest times. We evaluated the display of QR code posters using a six-item assessment tool that was based on guidance provided to businesses and services by the Ministry of Health, and we counted the number of people who entered each venue during a one-hour period and the number who scanned the QR code poster.
All six criteria for displaying QR code posters were met at half of the hospitality venues, four of five churches, and all supermarkets. Scanning proportions were low at all venues (median 10.2%), and at 12 (30%) no visitors scanned; eight of these venues were bars.
This audit provides a snapshot of the display and scanning of QR code posters in a city with no managed isolation and quarantine facilities and where no COVID-19 cases have been detected for 10 months.
评估新西兰 COVID Tracer QR(快速响应)码海报在达尼丁的企业和其他人群聚集在室内的场所的展示效果,并计算这些场所的访客扫描 QR 码海报的比例。
我们随机选择了 10 家咖啡馆、10 家餐厅、10 家酒吧、5 家教堂和 5 家超市,并在最繁忙的时间访问了这些场所。我们使用了一个基于卫生部为企业和服务提供的指南的六项评估工具来评估 QR 码海报的展示情况,并计算了在一个小时内进入每个场所的人数和扫描 QR 码海报的人数。
所有六个展示 QR 码海报的标准都在一半的酒店场所、五家教堂中的四家以及所有超市得到了满足。所有场所的扫描比例都很低(中位数为 10.2%),有 12 个(30%)没有访客扫描;其中 8 个是酒吧。
这项审计提供了一个没有管理隔离和检疫设施的城市中 QR 码海报展示和扫描的快照,该城市已经连续 10 个月没有发现 COVID-19 病例。
